445am wake ups on your honeymoon are not so fun. We slowly peeled ourselves out of bed, finished the packing and got dressed for an excursion that promised freezing cold morning conditions at the Geyser and bathing at the hot springs
We met up with everyone at 530 and made sure the guide knew we had to be back by 12:10 to catch the transfer to our flight. They did not say no problem right off the bat which made us a bit nervous. But we forged ahead regardless.
The trip to the El Tatio geysers, at 4400M elevation, was about 2 hours. GG and I dozed en route.
We arrived into a field with tall plumes of steam escaping all over the place – the releasing of magma-heating pressure with the cold air above (at sunrise it's actually only in the upper 30 degrees Fahrenheit).
